| DD-WRT: Usage Meter I converted an Asus RT-N10+ over to DD-WRT, and its got an internal usage meter...via Status/Wan sub-menu.
On the Setup/Basic-Setup sub-menu, for most users, these boxes need to be un-checked.
Use DNSMasq for DHCP
Use DNSMasq for DNS
DHCP-Authoritative
If these boxes are checked, for most all users...one will have DNS issues...and pages will fail to load.
If your router has 2MB flash, it will not obtain most of the features.
Various routers supported, with details on them, are listed here:
»www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Su···_Devices
and here, download page: »www.dd-wrt.com/site/support/router-database
Footnote - On Asus RT-N10+, after a master reset, it will want to guide user thru some menus...I avoided this, and used the login address: »192.168.1.1/ and went direct to upload firmware page, and loaded *.trx file from DD-WRT. YMMV: At your own risk. |

1 edit | You might want to investigate some of the offerings from TomatoUSB for the RT-N10 (and many others). In general, the bandwidth meter has more/better options and the builds are more recent. It seems easier to me to find the right build and how to install it vs. the interminable and intimidating "Peacock" thread. See »tomato.groov.pl/?page_id=69 |

DD-WRT v24-sp2 (03/25/13) You may be interested in the 07/28/13 build.
For some strange reason, it's not listed under "Additional Information" "Other Downloads"... |

| Not to join a peeing contest with you but the latest Shibby build for the 2.4 kernel series is 8-1-13, 8-9-13 for the K26.
Unfortunately Tomato variants do not seem to support the many non-Broadcom versions of the RT-N10. One of the dangers in buying routers is that you get little info about the chipset...same model designation with a different version may be a totally different device wrapped in the same package. |

Those are the beta versions...which entitles users who upgrade frequently membership to the brick club...sooner or later.
Btw, DD-WRT's main programmer is a German, where Tomato's is Polish, so NSA won't have a requested backdoors to either firmware used.
For those who take the leap, do read "how to" instructions. I scanned them, but did it my way as explained in first post. Main point is to do a master reset, and install without making entries in menus...virgin router, untouched. |
